If you are one of the 65 million or so Americans struggling with periodontal disease, you might be a prime candidate for LANAP® protocol laser gum surgery. The FDA-approved treatment has quickly emerged as a more successful and less painful than the alternative conventional gum surgery. Clinical studies have proven that the innovative treatment spurs significant periodontal regeneration with new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. Dr. Jonathan Van Dyke and his team at Island Tower Dentistry in Marco Island, Florida are pleased to offer this groundbreaking treatment to its southwest Florida patients.

If you’re discussing an impending procedure with your dentist, they might reference platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as part of the treatment. Platelet-rich plasma therapy promotes fast and effective healing of hard and soft tissues in the mouth. In fact, the therapy has proven so effective that it is quickly becoming a standard of care with tooth extractions, implants, and other dental procedures. Island Tower Dentistry is pleased to now offer this rapid-healing therapy to its Marco Island-area patients.

Do you feel anxious whenever you have a dental appointment? Does that anxiety morph into outright fear when you know that the appointment includes a procedure that likely involves some level of discomfort? Has this anxiety and/or fear ever led you to avoid scheduling a dental appointment, or even to cancel an upcoming appointment?
